Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Roughtake at none against Serializd's shown. Roughtake also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and review sentiment (84% vs 62%). Serializd's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 101) and chart position (#167 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
